| 27 Jul 2022 | Facebook Page and Facebook Groups; how to use to your advantage | 00:48:23 | |
As any new cookier knows there can be a struggle to learn all of the things you need to do to sell your product, get your cookies out into the world, be seen by customers, your friends, your foes... then what? How do you choose which social media giant will be your best fit? Once you're in the sea of people, business, and things, how will your cookies get spotted by people who will actually pay you? Today we chat about Facebook, aka Meta, and how to utilize the 'group' function to your advantage. For example, we have a Cookies for Lunch Facebook PAGE and a GROUP. If you like our page, thank you! If you are a member of our GROUP, you found a spot where you belong. Groups are made up of similarly minded people with the same targeted interest. This is where you can ask your cookie questions, get advice, learn from the experts in the group, hopefully make new friends, and your comments will be seen. A group is more intimate than a business page. Think of it as an insider to that business page. Sandra has a Facebook group that is for her local customers only. This is where she can make pop up cookie announcements and members of her group are (almost) guaranteed to see it. If she makes this same announcement on her business only page, the visibility to her 'target audience' is watered down. Nancy has so many groups it may make you DIZZY! Again, the message she puts out in these groups is very targeted to that specific group of members. Shari doesn't have any groups, and she is okay with that she leans more toward Instagram...all of our business are different. Cynthia Ann isn't with us today, but we don't think she has any groups. As with anything, there is a learning curve and technology changes on a whim. Grab your lunch and join us as we chat! Please leave us a review, share and rate our podcast so we know how to best connect with you.

| 12 Oct 2022 | Shortcut or Ethical Dilemma? | 00:48:51 | |
We have Amy Clough with us again today! If you didn't listen to last weeks' episode where we met Amy-go listen! Today we talk about a hot topic or controversial issue; using other people's photos or verbiage as your own. Is it stealing? Is it being lazy? Is it deceptive? We dive into all the opinions and ethical questions about when, if ever, it is appropriate to portray someone else's photos, verbiage, cookie cutters as your own.

| 18 May 2022 | Why Do Cookiers Love Murder Podcasts? | 00:53:46 | |
Do you love murder podcasts? We do! Well, 3 of us do. Nancy does not. In this episode, we share some of our favorite murder podcasts and why we like listening to them. The number 1 reason is that it is fun to have something to listen to while we are decorating cookies! In keeping with the murder theme, we talk about bleeding. Butter bleed is a really scary thing for us and we address what may cause it and some terrific tips on how to avoid it.

Hey Cookiers! In this episode we chat about what our social media posts do for each of us as cookiers. Are we posting cookie pictures to get 'content' out on social media platforms, or are we trying to post for our customers to notice us and purchase?

Who are we as people? Is 'Cookie-ing" our full time job? Which one of us lived on a farm? Who sweats but doesn't stink? Who do you think was an NFL Cheerleader? Tune in to learn these answers, weird birthday facts, and why you shouldn't have sex on Valentine's Day.... Cynthia Ann; she’s our resident teaching artist. Perfectionist designer and decorator. She’ll keep us in line. She’s our “Diplomatic Cookier”. Nancy; she wants everyone to learn, get along and be friends. She loves cookie gadgets! She is our “Rule Follower Cookier” Sandra: she's resourceful and full of creative ideas for cookiers and she may cuss a little. She’s our “Innovative Cookier”. Shari: she's usually behind the scenes of events and is blunt with opinions. Like Sandra, she’s sassy and may cuss a little. She’s our “Opinionated Cookier”. Grab your lunch and join us!

| 06 Jul 2022 | Special Guest Andrea Walters; Andy Kay's Cookies | 00:56:26 | |
We have another guest this week. You may have seen our guest on The Food Networks' Christmas Cookie Challenge, Instagram (over 31K followers), or in one of her several roles she has stepped into at CookieCon; Core Instructor, Add-On Instructor, panel discussion host, and Key Note speaker. Andrea pulls back the curtain on cookie competitions, the former "Periscope" days that preceded Instagram and FB Lives, cookie decorating instruction, her two puppies (yes-just like Sandra!), her friendships within the cookier community, and creating our own cookier decorating styles. Andrea is very passionate about what she does and speaks about her strengths. She is fun, witty, and very good and telling her story. Cookie Camper Capers!! If you have followed Andrea for any time, you may also know she has a cookie camper that she has been trying to get renovated for her pop ups. Four weeks of a renovation turned into eight weeks....unreturned calls... unprotected storage...a tornado near miss...annd Andrea found her camper in a field with weeds growing around it. She did get her camper and her money back! Listen to her tell the story and where she is now with the camper. Consistency Tip-what does shiny have to do with it? Andrea gives a very descriptive example of icing consistency.

One of our podcast hosts, Nancy Westfall, started Cookie-A-Thon on a random Sunday by asking if anyone in her club wanted to share a cookie tutorial. Little did she imagine that Cookiers were hungry for this! It was a great way to promote members of The Colorful Cookie Club and share techniques with each other. This one day afternoon event has now turned into a multi-day event that includes tutorials, sponsors, prizes, and exclusive discount codes for Cookiers. And one of the best parts is that it is FREE! The next Cookie-A-Thon will be Nancy's 8th and as she states, "It is a labor of love". Come listen to Nancy talk about what goes into planning this on line event, website, tutorials, emails, trainings, and more! She is magical!! You can register for Cookie-A-Thon in the show notes link. It is such a fun multi-day event!!

| 13 Jul 2022 | Christmas in July? How to prep for the holidays | 00:52:10 | |
We have all heard about, or experienced, supply chain disruptions in the past year or so. Toilet paper demand, anyone??? Stores have been low on butter, sugar, flour, and eggs too. Was it easy to find a suitable replacement? It may not be easy to find cookie-packaging replacements in the size, scale, and pricing you need. Not having the right supplies can be a business disruptor for you and a costly one. In this episode we offer our best tips on how to plan for the upcoming holidays-season. Planning for the rest of the year really kicks in after the July 4th holiday, and once school starts, things move very quickly. Now is the time to research where to get your labels, product stickers, ingredient labels, cello bags, boxes, and ribbon. By ordering your supplies in the summer and prepping your packaging now, you will be steps ahead in the heavy baking season. You definitely want to tune in to hear how each of us approach planning for maximizing holiday baking time and minimizing supply chain stress.

| 25 Jul 2022 | Guest Interview with Sam Opdenbosch of Sam's Cookie Company **Updated 7/25/22 | 00:58:20 | |
We have a treat for you today! Sam Opdenbosch of Sam's Cookie Company joins us for a chat about cookies, designing cookie cutters, and ballroom dancing! Sam is a seasoned sales pro by day and manages her cookie business as 'a serious side hustle' in her off hours. Sam got started with "Sam's Cookies" as her business customers aptly named them when she would drop cookies off to them. In this very informative podcast, Sam explains how she and her husband developed a plug in that has been a game changer in the 3-D cookie cutter industry. Whether you have a 3-D printer, or have just heard about them, Sam will help you understand the process from concept to completion in printing a cookie cutter with a 3-D printer. She will have you repeating "Sketch. Click. Done.". Sam has also been on Food Networks' Christmas Cookie Challenge. You definitely want to hear how she landed on the show! No one was more surprised than she was. Sam is energetic and a great story teller! We guarantee you will definitely want to follow her! Nancy had Sam on The Colorful Cookie where they created a stencil and cookie cutter together.
